EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th century showcases the intricate process of tobacco production in France. In this bustling factory, a worker on the left is meticulously handpicking large leaves to be used for wrapping cigars. With focused precision, he carefully selects each leaf, ensuring only the finest quality makes its way into these prized tobacco products. Meanwhile, another worker stands atop a bulk of tobacco nearby, overseeing its humidification process. This crucial step guarantees that the tobacco maintains its desired moisture level and enhances its flavor profile. The scene exudes an atmosphere of industry and dedication as these skilled individuals contribute their expertise to create exceptional tobacco products. The image itself is a copper engraving taken from L'Encyclopédie by Denis Diderot—an iconic publication that aimed to compile knowledge across various fields during this era. Its inclusion in this print adds historical significance and authenticity to our understanding of 18th-century French tobacconist practices. Granger Art on Demand presents us with a glimpse into the past—a snapshot frozen in time—depicting not just men at work but also showcasing an entire industry's commitment towards excellence. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount in every aspect of life.
